High-temperature fasteners for Turbines & Power Plants.
High-strength casing studs, compact flange bolts and hot-service replacements for turbine and power-plant maintenance.
Which fasteners fit your turbine and power-plant applications?
BYBOLT supplies Inconel 718 stud bolts for high-strength turbine-casing joints and A-286 12-point flange bolts where wrench access is tight. Inconel 718 double-end studs secure steam-valve bonnets, while Incoloy 800H stud bolts resist creep in sustained hot service. Order to your equipment drawing, with the required heat treatment and mating nuts.
Fasteners for turbines & power-plant equipment.
Gas & steam turbine casing joints
718 studs carry turbine-casing tension through long hot runs and subsequent shutdowns. The specified aged condition supplies elevated-temperature strength and creep resistance. Where the casing uses tapped stud holes, the fasteners can remain installed during inspection, reducing repeated handling of the casing threads.
Inconel 718 Stud BoltsRelated material guides
Connection requirements
- Casing flange thickness, gasket type, and required preload
- Stud diameter, overall length, and tensioning clearance at each end
- Temperature range, cycling duty, and age-hardened condition certification
High-pressure steam valve bonnets
Steam-valve bonnet studs hold the pressure cover while providing a repeatable assembly arrangement for valve servicing. Inconel 718 is useful when elevated-temperature strength is a major part of the specification. The stud and nut are selected together so that the strong stud is supported by a suitable nut proof load and thread fit.

- Temperature range, cycling duty, and age-hardened condition certification
Exhaust manifolds & expansion bellows
At an exhaust flange or bellows support, Inconel 718 hex bolts carry pipework loads through a limited bolt pattern. Precipitation-hardened strength is useful where the fasteners remain hot and there is little room to increase their diameter. Accessible heads allow the complete bolts to be withdrawn when the flange or support is dismantled.

Connection requirements
- Manifold flange thickness, gasket type, and required preload
- Bolt diameter, grip length, and nut/washer stack-up at installed position
- Temperature range, vibration duty, and age-hardened condition certification
Boiler tube hangers & superheaters
On boiler hanger and superheater support rods, X-750 nuts can form part of a sustained hot-load attachment. The regular hex pattern fits compact brackets and allows position adjustment on threaded ends. The relevant advantage is the alloy's hot mechanical behaviour in the specified treatment condition.
Inconel X-750 Hex NutsRelated material guides
Connection requirements
- Mating bolt diameter, thread form, and thread class
- Nut height, width across flats, and bearing-face condition required
- Temperature range, cycling duty, and heat-number certification
Flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) ducts
FGD access-cover hardware may be wetted by acidic chloride condensate. S32760 washers are useful where this super duplex alloy has been selected for the local exposure. They provide a replaceable seat beneath the nut; condensate retained under that seat is the relevant environment for corrosion selection.

Connection requirements
- Condensate composition and temperature
- Nut seat and washer flatness
- Contact pressure and thickness
Generator & rotor tie-bolt assemblies
Rotor tie-bolt nuts transfer a large axial load into the end of the assembly. A heavy hex 718 nut offers a strong threaded section and a generous bearing footprint where the rotor design allows it. The drawing's balance, seating and locking details remain essential parts of this particular component.

Temperature, expansion, and condensate corrosion.
B16, A-286, 718 and Waspaloy serve different hot-bolting duties. For a casing joint, compare temperature-specific relaxation and creep data in the final heat-treated condition; room-temperature strength does not establish retained clamp load.
What to specify
- Design service temperature band
- Required clamp-load retention criterion
- Creep strength grade designation
Casing and fastener expansion can either increase or reduce clamp load during startup. Choose A-286 or 718 using the casing alloy, grip length and temperature distribution, then set preload for the complete joint.
What to specify
- Flange-to-fastener expansion differential
- Operating thermal cycle range
- Gasket seating stress requirement
C-276 and 625 offer corrosion-resistant options for fasteners exposed to acidic FGD condensate. 2507 remains an option where condensate chemistry and temperature support it; distinguish external duct attachments from continuously wetted or deposit-covered threads.
What to specify
- Condensate chloride exposure classification
- Wet-versus-dry service zone designation
- Alloy corrosion resistance grade
